These days it seems that my cup runneth over with everything but sleep. The house is cluttered. Wedding gifts that have not found their place perch upon the stacks of paper piled during the pre-wedding chaos- they must have bred during the honeymoon, becuase there couldn’t possibly have been that much… Clothes litter my closetContinue reading “Off and Running”

The wedding is over. It passed in a blur that require pictures to remember correctly. We were blessed with perfect weather, great food, a future broadway star singing my processional, and an awesome band, who put up with my inability to choose music with calm assurance. Not to mention the week of celebratory events thatContinue reading “The Dust is Settling”

Tuesday was my dress fitting. All went well and, unless I lose a great deal of weight(unlikely, especially when I ate a Shake Shack Burger, cheese fries andd HUGE plate of Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo for lunch and dinner) or gain back all the weight I’ve lost, I do not need another fitting. The dressContinue reading “Just Another Few Days in Paradise”

“Where have you been?” she asks. I ponder a moment before answering. Let’s see… I’ve been to Pennsylvania and Vermont recently, done some short trips to the mall and Lowe’s, but mainly, I’ve been shuttling back and forth between garden and barn. I’ve been busy.” I reply. I am sulky, feeling guilty and defensive. AfterContinue reading “Back in the Saddle”

Jumping for joy. Doing the happy dance. I’m as giddy as a teenager at a rock concert! A Game of Thrones has begun. Winter is coming. So excited. When I first saw the preview, the unfurling of the crow’s wings started the flutter in my stomach. Could it be? Or is this something else? ThenContinue reading “A Game of Thrones”

What do we do with a new laptop and a rainy day? Well, for one thing, I am not sitting in my new office flush with ideas. Rather, I am playing with my this wonderful toy, configuring and setting it up so I can better fulfill my literary destiny. Mainly, I am attempting to findContinue reading “Why I Am Not a Successful Writer…Yet”

It feels like it took forever, but Winter seems to have loosened its icy grip. The weather is not yet perfect, there are still rainclouds and brisk wind, however the sun is bright. What have I done with this bounty of lovely weather? The garden is roto-tilled. The peas, lettuce, and radish seeds are setContinue reading “Finally!”

Let’s just say that Winter this year sucked. Now that Spring is officially here, I am looking forward to riding, gardening, and the flush of creative energy that warmer weather always brings. I work better with a healthy dose of Vitamin D. But Mother Nature, cruel bitch, is not cooperating. Rain, snow, mixed with someContinue reading “Desperation.”

On this day, in 1933, my father was born. Throughout my life, my dad was the source of comfort and affection. He ran a small Luncheonette, my home base for all of my childhood adventures. I remember his voice booming down the cul-de-sac where my friends lived. He would call for me whenever I wasContinue reading “March 31st”
